REDnGOLD Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Has anybody used them here? What are your thoughts? Per the site, it fits all shocks & NO machining needed. So, is this pretty much plug & play??? How hard was the install? It also lowers the car by 1/2 inch. http://www.racetep.com/datsunsusp.html I've been reading about the camber plates by T3 but will need some modification. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 looks like a pretty staight forward install, but from the pic i dont actually see a camber adjustment. They kinda look like the camber plated that were on 710's Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The camber adjustment is made with the two middle bolts. Loosen, move shock to desired camber, tighten. No experience with these though. Quote Link to comment
'70dime Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The camber adjustment is made with the two middle bolts. Loosen, move shock to desired camber, tighten. No experience with these though. Where are the slots so the plate can move and the desired camber can be achieved? Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Looks like the slots would have to be in the piece that bolts to the shock. You can't see the slots because they'd be in the "lower" plate, not the plate that you can see from the top. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Where are the slots so the plate can move and the desired camber can be achieved? Would assume the slots are in the lower plate.... Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 i would think they would be in the top plate with a bolt coming from the top down, it would be difficult to adjust when its in the car, you cant get to the bottom of it to loosen/tighten the bolt that is coming up from the bottom.

Skib Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I've been reading about the camber plates by T3 but will need some modification. I have never had to modify anything to install T3 plates. Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I guess i was reading something differently. So the T3 bolts right in? No modification nor added aluminum nor bushing needed? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Iv put in a few sets and never had issues. just recommend using the bearing top hats T3 has. Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks Skib. In that case, I will purchase this instead. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i like the ground control design better than the T3 plates, you dont have to mess with a bearing top hat, but thats the only difference Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 but the GC is $100 more. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 True. but with the t3 you need to buy the bearing top hat seperate if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Dont get those! they suck TRUST ME on this. I gave mine away after looking at the T3 ones movement is minor.you dont get the full lenth of the slot. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 search is your friend (aka i wouldn't buy ANYTHING from top end) (btw this thread is a repost) http://community.ratsun.net/topic/36217-top-end-performance-in-la/ more on top end: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/9553-620-header-question/ Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 ^ Did the research on this forum. That thread didnt show up at all. T3 it is. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 t3 is my fav Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 i remember someone on this forum posted a pix of their front strut using GC coilover kits paired w/ T3 camber plates. I cant find it now but if i remember correctly the tophats included on the GC fits just right w/ the T3 plates w/ no modification or what so ever. is that correct? Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 when buying also mention what struts cartridge brand you have. I had the old Koni D models(rod size is thicker I think) and I needed a bushing that different than the one suppllied. T3 guy knows this. Quote Link to comment
REDnGOLD Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 thanks Banzai510. I just sent them an email Quote Link to comment
